I don’t often post personal photos on my blog but I couldn’t pass up this opportunity. In February, Chris and I welcomed our first baby, our beautiful daughter Nina into this world. To celebrate Father’s Day, I decided to do a little shoot of Nina with her Dad.

My main reason for doing this shoot, aside from celebrating Chris’ first Father’s Day, was to capture photos of Chris and Nina and all the cuteness and littleness that she is!

I also wanted to take these photos to celebrate what a truly amazing Dad that Nina has.

If I had to pick two words to describe Chris, it would be kind and patient.  Watching Chris interact with Nina makes me a little teary each time. I love watching him read her a story every night before bed. I love that he gets into character and has a different voice for each animal in the book. I love the full conversations that he has with her and how he rocks her back and forth, tightly held in his arms when she is upset or can’t fall asleep. I love that he has big dreams for her and we sometimes talk about and wonder what she will be when she grows up. Although, as it is right now, I would love to keep her this little forever.

I’m truly blessed to have such a beautiful and healthy little family. I have always dreamed to have something like this and now I get to live out this dream.

Special thanks to my amazing friend Trina Gallop (click HERE to visit her blog!) for sewing Nina’s dress and Chris’ matching bow tie for the shoot. It was perfect!!!

On Sunday I met up with Ava and her beautiful mama at St. Vital Park. Ava is 2 years old and quite the little lady! She made us work hard but it was worth it for the cute giggles and smiles that we got! She is a sweetheart! Bonus: we even had a guest appearance by Sheepy!
I love Ava’s gorgeous, big blue eyes and her blonde hair! She’s going to be a total heart breaker!
